Chapter 234: After-Match Voices (2)
The official FIFA website reported on the match under the headline "The Awakened Dragons of the East", and there were no words of praise for the performance of the Dragon Nation team in this game!
Dragon country elements are full of all aspects of this World Cup, and now Dragon country football has also achieved a refreshing and amazing performance on the stage of the World Cup, and FIFA is happy to see it.
Dragon Country's vast football market has always been coveted by FIFA.
At present, the global football market, as the main body of Europe, has basically reached saturation, and limited by the economic development of the region, there is basically no room for improvement.
Soccer has never been a strong sport in North America, and Major League Soccer ranks at the bottom of the four major sports leagues in North America, and it lacks promising prospects.
South America, the traditional football powerhouse in international football, has not seen any improvement in economic development in recent years, and the market development lacks the support of economic foundation.
Not to mention Africa, where players have more talent, but other than that, the conditions are quite lacking.
Oceania is a forgotten corner of international football.
In the past, only Asia is the driving force that can support the sustainable development of the international football market.
With the next World Cup will land in Qatar in West Asia, the enthusiasm of the Middle East oil tycoons for football has continued to rise in recent years, and the investment has continued to be high, which has made the development level of football in this region improve rapidly.
However, the Middle East lacks sufficient market capacity, and football is just a plaything for those oil tycoons, and with the continuous decline of international oil prices in the past two years, the energy of oil tycoons on football is also rapidly decreasing.
India in South Asia has a large enough domestic market, a large enough population, and a good economy in recent years, but the Indian people's enthusiasm for football is not very high, and the Indian government does not pay much attention to the development of domestic football.
Several times around the world, only Dragon Country is qualified to become the focus and booster of the development of the international football market in the next ten or twenty years!
First, the economy of Longguo has continued to develop rapidly in recent years, and has grown into the world's second largest economy.
Second, the government of the Dragon Kingdom attaches great importance to the development of the football industry in the Dragon Kingdom, and the supreme leader @ sleeve has repeatedly expressed his views and expectations on the development of the football industry on many occasions, and now he has personally attended the opening ceremony of the World Cup, and watched the first game of the Dragon Country team in this World Cup, which is a very obvious signal.
Third, the political system of the Dragon Kingdom determines what the government wants to do, and capital will quickly follow suit! In recent years, a large amount of capital has poured into the Dragon Country football market, and huge investments have brought a high level of foreign aid and foreign coaches to Dragon Country Football, which has made the level of Dragon Country Football Professional League improve year after year, and in just a few years, it has developed into the first league in Asia!
Dragon country football reform, these two years are also carried out steadily, in order to cultivate the new generation of force, the Dragon Football Association has formulated a number of measures, the effect is remarkable, the World Cup of the Dragon team, there are currently Shen Feng, Wei Shihao, He Chao, Liu Yiming, Deng Hanwen five U23 young players, although only Shen Feng alone sat firmly in the position of the main force of the team, but the continuous emergence of newcomers, but also for the renewal of the Dragon team, providing more possibilities.
The football industry has developed very rapidly in Dragon Country in recent years, but the huge market potential of Dragon Country is far from being fully tapped, and there is still a lot of room for development!
Because the Dragon Country team has once again advanced to the finals of the World Cup after 16 years, the Dragon Country is full of enthusiasm for this World Cup!
This is not only reflected in the official sponsors of FIFA's World Cup, but also nearly half of the companies from the Dragon Kingdom, and the sponsorship fees of these enterprises support half of FIFA's commercial sponsorship income in this World Cup.
Not only during the entire World Cup, there will be as many as four or five hundred thousand Dragon Kingdom fans pouring into Russia, bringing a large number of tourists and income to the local tourism, hotel and catering industries in Russia!
The entire Dragon Country, during the World Cup, will be plunged into the carnival of football!
In fact, this football feast in the territory of the Dragon Country has been started since last November, when the Dragon Country team defeated Honduras in the World Cup qualifying intercontinental play-offs and advanced to the World Cup finals for the second time in history.
The opening of the World Cup has brought this football feast in the Dragon Country to a high @ tide.
According to the data released by National Television and Youdou Video, in the opening match of the World Cup last night, the ratings of the National Television Sports Channel reached an average of 18%, and the peak exceeded 20%, creating a miraculous record of Longguo TV ratings; In addition, the number of viewers who watched the live broadcast of this game through Youdou Video also reached an incredible 60 million, which also created a miraculous record in the history of Dragon Kingdom online live broadcast!
According to relevant statistical agencies, the opening match of this World Cup will attract the attention of at least one billion people around the world!
And in Dragon Country alone, the number of viewers who watched this game is very likely to exceed 300 million, accounting for nearly one-third of the total number of viewers in the world!
As soon as this data was announced, it shocked everyone and made FIFA more fully aware of the huge football market development potential of Dragon Country!
FIFA President Gianni Infantino, at last night's opening match, accompanied the supreme leaders of the two warring countries @ the guide to watch the game, he tested the tone of the supreme leader of the dragon country @sleeve and asked whether the dragon country was interested in bidding for the World Cup.
The supreme leader of the Dragon Country @ Sleeve did not give Infantino a clear answer at that time, but the Supreme Leader @ Sleeve's "three expectations" for Dragon Country football include "Dragon Country hosts the World Cup".
After learning the global ratings data of yesterday's World Cup opener, Infantino was even more eager to send the World Cup to the Dragon Country, and specially called Cai Zhenhua, chairman of the Dragon Football Association, to ask the Dragon Country about its intention to bid for the World Cup again.
Cai Zhenhua followed the supreme @ leader of the Dragon Country, before the opening of the World Cup, rushed to Moscow, the supreme leader @ sleeve after watching the opening game of the Dragon Country team, condolences to the players of the Dragon Country team, immediately returned to the Dragon Kingdom, but Cai Zhenhua stayed and personally supervised the battle.
Before the Supreme Leader @ Sleeve left, he asked Cai Zhenhua whether Long Guo now has the conditions to bid for the World Cup, and the other is which World Cup is more suitable to bid for.
At present, the host country of the next two World Cups has been determined, Qatar in 2022, Canada, the United States, and Mexico in 2026, if the Dragon Kingdom wants to bid for the World Cup, it can only bid for 2030 at the earliest, but FIFA has regulations that the continent that has hosted the World Cup will automatically lose qualification in the next two World Cup bids, and the 2022 World Cup will be held in Qatar in West Asia, that is to say, the Dragon Team, which also belongs to Asia, is not eligible to bid for the 2030 World Cup, can only bid for the 2034 session.
